Galvanization

Galvanization (or galvanisation) is the process of applying a protective zinc coating to steel or iron, in order to prevent rusting. The corrosion protection and performance is directly related to the weight of the zinc coating.

Hot Dipped Galvanized

Hot dip galvanizing is the application of a zinc coating by dipping the steel in a zinc bath. It is very important to note that this term is sometimes used in the industry when referring to powder coated painted tubes, by companies trying to mislead consumers into a false sense of security. Eg. Standard hot dipped galvanized tubes which are used in the industry have a zinc coating of 550g/m2. Wheras, most companies are using G90 tubes for their residential powder coated tubes which only holds 275g/m2 of zinc coating. A few companies have reduced the quality even further to a G60 tube which holds a mere 183g/m2.

-GALVALUME ™

The Galvalume™ coating, applied by the continuous hot-dip process, is an alloy consisting of approximately 55% aluminium and 45% zinc by weight. Galvalume™ steel combines the best qualities of aluminium and zinc. Due to the fact that Galvalume™ coating is partially made out of aluminium, when comparing it to other zinc coatings, the same weight of coating will produce a thicker protective barrier. Hence providing a superior corrosion resistance to that of G90 and G60.

-Bordure défensive (Torsadé)

A fencing material from steel wire helically wound and interwoven in such a manner so as to provide a continuous mesh without neither knots nor ties, except in the form of knuckling or of twisting the ends of the wires to form the selvage of the fabric.

-Galvanized before weaving

The wire which is used in the manufacturing of the fabric is zinc-coated before weaving. The zinc coating shall adhere to the wire without flaking or rubbing off.

-Vinyl coated

Vinyl coated fabric shall be of galvanised steel wire and is vinyl coated before weaving by an extrusion process.

-Mesh Size

Determine the size of mesh by measuring the minimum clear distance between the wires forming the parallel sides of the mesh.

-Wire Gauge

Determine the diameter of the wire

-Knuckled

This term is used to describe the type of selvage obtained by interlocking adjacent wire ends, in pairs, and then bending the two wire ends back into a closed loop.

-Twisted

This term is used to describe the type of selvage obtained by twisting adjacent wire ends together, in pairs, in a close helix.
